JAKARTA - Denny Chasmala, through an upload on his Instagram account, responded to statements by several songwriter musicians who invited other singers to perform their work without the obligation to pay royalties.
As is known, Rhoma Irama and Charly Van Houten are the names of two songwriters who recently stated that the song can be performed by anyone without paying royalties.
The dangdut legend songwriter and singer free of charge is sung. The songwriter and former famous band singer also free of charge for singing anyone without having to pay, "wrote Denny Chasmala, citing the caption of the upload, Tuesday, June 10.
Although he did not directly mention the names Rhoma Irama and Charly, the songwriter who is also a member of the All-Indonesian Composter Association (AKSI) felt the statement showed indifference to other songwriters.
"Luckily you speak melodious or maybe you are already established. Many of the songwriter professions whose lives are from songs sung by others. I think you don't care about songwriters," said Denny.
"You kill the songwriter profession. There is no future of songwriter professions," he added.
Previously, Rhoma Irama through her podcast, Birikan Rhoma, stated her exclusive rights as a songwriter.
"For me, I'm sorry, copyright is an exclusive right. exclusively, if I'm private, O dangdut singers around the world, I can sing my song, I don't collect (permits and royalties)," said Rhoma. Please sing my song as much as possible, until it's hoarse. You don't have to pay me. This is my exclusive right, right?

The King of Dangdut had his own reasons until he finally made the statement. In the midst of the legal case between the songwriter and the singer (performer) recently, there has been fear from the singers to perform songs created by others.
"What I mean is like this, with this case, there are singers, especially dangdut, he is afraid to sing," he said. b This is an announcement, who wants to sing, just sing, please."
Rhoma feels it will be a waste if he blocks the singers who want to perform his song. In addition, if his song can bring blessings to other people, he sees it as a kind thing in itself.
"Because my principle is like this, if my work is not sung by people, it looks like a waste of songs," he said. People don't just give alms with material. If we can benefit people from our work, that's a reward too.
But what is an important note, Rhoma does not criticize the songwriters who are struggling for their rights. His statement is only addressed to himself as the owner of the copyright exclusive, and is not required to be a principle for other songwriters.
"This is my principle, not a creator must be like that, no, this is an exclusive right. You demand that your rights are also true, not wrong. Demanding that rights be true, because there is a law," said Rhoma.
The name is art, art is fun, not something that is danger (dangerous) and horror. So, just fun, solving art problems must also be fun, slowly, and well," he said.
